Comparison of recrystallization texture in cold-rolled continuous cast AA5083 and 5182 aluminum alloys

The recrystallization microstructure and texture of cold-rolled continuous cast AA 5083 and 5182 aluminum alloys with and without prior heat treatment were investigated by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and TEM. The results obtained were discussed with regard to the effect of Zener-particle pinning.
